Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Use in the Manufacture of Confectionery.
Inventor: HOLMES DANIEL MOREY
Filed: 1900-05-18
Granted: 1900-07-21
Abstract: 9219. Holmes, D. M. May 18. Casting. -Relates to machines for casting confectionery in starch or like moulds. The frame 1 supports a tank 2 for the confectionery mixture. The tank is provided with a copper lining 3, and a chamber 4 in which are located steam pipes 5. Longitudinal bars 9<a> support a pair of conveyer chains 9, on which rest trays 8 containing the starch moulds 7. All the moulds in each transverse row are filled simultaneously from the tank 2, and the chains 9 then advance the tray 8 sufficiently to bring the next row of moulds beneath the discharge nozzles 19, Fig. 5. A brass plate 15, bored with a series of holes 6<a>, is fixed in front of the discharge slot 6 of the tank. In front of the plate 15 moves a slide 20 operated by verticallymoving rods 22. The slide 20 is bored to form cylinders 27 provided with parts 29 adapted to communicate in turn with the openings 6<a> and discharge passages 18. Each cylinder is provided with a piston, and the piston-rods are carried by a bar 36 reciprocated vertically by rods 39. The rods 22 are loosely pivoted to a shaft 23 supported in bearings at the ends of two arms 24, which are themselves pivoted loosely on the main driving-shaft 25 of the machine. The shaft 23 is driven through gearing 31, 30 from the shaft 25, and, as the cams 32 rotate in contact with the camrolls 33, the shaft 31 rises and falls, and the rods 22 and slide 20 are reciprocated. A plate 40 is adjustably secured to each cam 32 by a bolt 42, and a block 42 is adjustably held by a screw 44 between ears projecting from the plate 40. The rods 39 are connected to the blocks 42, and reciprocate in a manner or to an extent determined partly by the shape of the cams 32 and partly by the adjustment of the parts 40, 42. In the position shown in Fig. 5, a charge of mixture has just been deposited in the mould. As the cams 32 rotate, the piston will first be lifted slightly, so as to draw any adhering mixture into nozzles 19. As soon as the eccentric portions of the cams 32 begin to bear on the rolls 33, the slide 20 will rise with the pistons, the latter, however, rising faster. The slide 20 ceases to rise when the parts 29 register with the openings 6<a>, and the pistons then draw the mixture from the tank by suction. During the remainder of the revolution of the cams 32 the pistons descend faster than the slide 20, and the mixture is discharged to the moulds. The movement of the tray 8 is effected by the slotted rocking-lever 50 (pivoted at 51), link 49, pawl lever 47. and ratchet-wheel 13.
